An event usher is in charge of performing various tasks before, during and after the event. It is not a simple and easy job and ushers require proper training before they are assigned to a team and sent to events.

Event ushers are usually present at sporting or entertainment events at theaters, operas, symphony halls, weddings, reunions, etc.

Event Ushers Duties Include:

• Welcoming guests and showing them the way to their seats
• Checking their tickets
• Providing them with necessary materials such as event programs
• Answering attendees’ questions but keeping the conversation brief
• Assisting them in finding restrooms
• Assisting attendees with disabilities
• Following evacuation procedures in case of an emergency
• Have good communication skills and staying friendly,approachable and polite at all times
• Able to make a distinction between regular and VIP guests
• Knowing the event venue layout including all its rooms and exits
• Remaining in a standing position, often during the entire event
• Not leaving their position without permission

At every event, especially large ones with long guest lists, there is always a possibility of something unforeseen going wrong. This doubtlessly affects your reputation and, therefore, the success of any future event you intend on hosting. A tiny mistake can cost you a lot, every effort should be made to make sure that doesn’t happen.

Event Ushers Make Sure Everything Runs Smoothly

The presence of an usher at events is the best way to ensure success. Their task is to ensure everything runs smoothly so that you don’t have to worry about a thing. They handle everything from checking tickets to ensuring safety procedures are being followed.

To ensure that your event runs smoothly, there are countless tasks to be attended to such as making sure everyone is in the right seat, answering questions, escorting VIP guests to their seats, and ensuring everyone’s safety.

By hiring an event usher, you take care of all those tasks at once.

If you’re planning a big event, hiring an event usher is a must. But be mindful of that because not everyone can perform that job well. An usher needs to know how to conduct themselves, they need to be great communicators, but also be prepared to act immediately in case of an emergency.
